Fischer: Hitler Was Gay

As we noted yesterday, Bryan Fischer has seized upon a story out of Vermont regarding a couple that is suing an inn for refusing to host their wedding reception because they were lesbians and is using it as the latest example in his crusade to convince everyone that gays are the leading perpetrators of hates crimes.

On his radio program today, Fischer revealed that this topic was the issue of his latest column which he kicked off by declaring that “homosexual bigots continue the ‘Night of the Long Knives’ purge against anyone and everyone who believes in natural marriage.”

Now Fischer has a long history of claiming that the Nazi Party was started by gays and that the majority of Hitler’s Stormtroopers were also gay … but took it a step further today when he alleged that the Night of the Long Knives was carried out in order to prevent all these gay Stormtroopers from revealing to the German public that Hitler himself as gay or, as Fischer put it, “an active, practicing sexual pervert”:

Homosexual bigots continue the Night of the Long Knives purge against anyone and everyone who believes in natural marriage. Now the Night of the Long Knives, that was the night in which Hitler sent out his thugs to kill everybody who was a threat to his regime. A lot of them were homosexuals and the reason he purged them is that Ernst Rohm, who was the head of the Stormtroopers, was about ready to reveal to the German public that Hitler himself as a homosexual. This is what Lothar Machtan, a noted German historian, said in the book in 2001 “The Hidden Hitler.” This was the reason for the Night of the Long Knives. It wasn’t about their sexual orientation; it wasn’t a persecution of homosexuals. He was killing homosexuals because they knew that Hitler was a homosexual and were about to reveal that truth to the German public. And Hitler knew that the German public was not ready to hear that the Fuhrer was an active, practicing sexual pervert.
